Menu

Opera 48, which is in the developer branch as of this writing, comes with a handy screenshot tool which allows you to capture a portion of the opened page or the entire page. A new developer build, Opera 48.0.2679.0, features further improvements to the page screenshots option along with removable search suggestions. Let's see what else has changed.

The Snapshot feature is accessible from the sidebar, where the Snap button can be enabled or disabled by the user.It is possible to activate it with a special keyboard shortcut. By default, it is set to Ctrl + Shift + 5.

In this developer release, a new Snapshot option was added to the Opera menu.

This build of the browser also fixes a known issue with “Capture Full Site”. Now it takes a snapshot of the whole site, not just the visible area.

Remove history suggestions

Starting with Opera 48.0.2679.0, you can quickly remove the history items suggested in the address bar. Whether ts’s a mistyped search or a page you want to forget about, you can get rid of it with just one click. Just click the ‘X’ icon at the right of the entry in the combined search and address bar drop down list. This is very time saving.
